Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

White supremacy is terrorism.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Innocent people do not delay justice.

The hits keep coming for State Dept. IG Howard Krongard:

Two career investigators in the office of State Department Inspector General Howard J. Krongard have charged that they were threatened with firing if they cooperated with a congressional probe of Krongard and his office.

Correct me if I have this wrong, but I think that the law discourages threatening employees for cooperating with an investigation.

    Law, whose law? The law is what King George the Malevolent says it is. Those two career investigators were obviously traitorous democrats. Everybody knows the State Department is a nest of vermin hippies and peace-mongers who’d sell out this country in a heartbeat with gestures of good will and other friendly non-sense. Everybody knows Crony Krongard is doing a heck-of-a job at keeping war alive. So just get off his back, OK.

    Oh, but the thing is, being a member of the Bush Administration exempts you from such petty trivialities as the law. After 7 years, you’d think you’d learn that…

    I get it now, all the labor laws and employee protection laws weren’t made to protect us from unscrupulous business owners, they were meant to protect us from republicans!

    So it’s illegal. This is the Bush admin. we’re talking about. It’s not like the Congress is suddenly going to grow a spine and do something about it. Sheesh, get a grip!

    The State Dept: When you’re here you’re family.

    I think it reads better with a capitalized Family, but maybe that’s just my Italian ancestry talking.

    It may well be possible that Condi is even more incompetent than Rummy. I never cease to be amazed by this crowd.

    I thought the Conservatarian mantra was: If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide.

    Were they not serious when they said that?

  1. […] Answer: anybody who noticed that the State Dept. Inspector General cares a lot more about litigating his own family than doing his damn job. […]

  2. […] What finally drove “cookie” Krongard to quit? Under normal circumstances being credibly accused of actively covering up departmental abuses that range from ordinary contracting fraud to slavery would do it. If that didn’t work his, how should we say, innovative personnel policies would finish the job. […]
